*Target (protein/gene name): Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase (lmo800)

*NCBI Gene # or RefSeq#: 985934
*Protein ID (NP or XP #) or Wolbachia#: CAC99878.1
*Organism (including strain): Listeria monocytogenes

Etiologic Risk Group (see link below): Category B Priority Pathogen according to NIH (National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases)
*Disease Information (sort of like the Intro to your Mini Research Write up):
Listeria monocytogenes is a gram-positive bacterium that causes listeric infections in humans and other animals. This foodborne pathogen has caused outbreaks of listeriosis in North America and Europe. The symptoms of listeriosis include fever and muscle aches followed by diarrhea and other gastrointestinal problems. By the time of diagnosis, the infection becomes invasive meaning it spreads beyond the gastrointestinal tract. Most often than not the infections are caused by the consumption of contaminated foods. Commonly contaminated foods include meats and dairy products; uncooked, unpasteurized, cooked and processed included.

Essentiality of this protein:
It is an enzyme that dephosphorylates phosphoserine, phosphthreonine, and phosphotyrosine. iIt contain a functional export signal for secretion or membrane insertion. The lack of lmPTP showed ineffective host colonizes, proving that it plays an important role in virulence of the bacteria.
Is it a monomer or multimer as biological unit? (make prediction at http://www.ebi.ac.uk/msd-srv/prot_int/pistart.html):
